Pictures for Spring SPRING is almost with us again, bringing with it, as always, a renewal of interests. A" picture takers become revitalized, they begin to see the many, many possibilities that arrive with a new season. The dreary grays of the February landscape change little by little to fresh .greens. And as the flowers appear, and the skies grow brighter and bluer, the urge to take pictures becomes almost irresistible. The longer days help, too, and it's a nice change to get outdoors with your camera, after a winter devoted, photographically speaking, to taking flash pictures indoors Be sure your camera and accessories are in good order. Like a wrist watch, your camera can stand a cleaning and going over every once in a while. If anything seemsyto be the matter with the workings, however, take it. to a photo dealer. The interior mechanisms are too delicate to withstand non-professional tinkering. He can advise you best as to your trouble and what you should do about it. The picture taking possibilities are numerous in spring. Children are out with their roller skates, bicycles, and kites -- eager and enthusiastic. Gardens which began With seed catalogs in January are beginning to take form. Practice sessions for the ambitious golfei get underway in the backyard Of course, Nature takes precedence over everything in this sea son -- and it's a wonderful time of year for taking color pictures With color film you can pick up the delicate tints and shadings of the spring landscape. It's almost as simple to use as black-and-white and whether you prefer color prints or color transparencies for projecting, you'll find it worth the little extra care in exposure which you must take. One of the^host rewarding ways of using color film is in taking close-ups of flowers. With simple cameras you'll need to use a closeup attachment.- This is an easyto- use, inexpensive little gadget, which is, in effect, an eye glass for your camera, enabling it to see a little better for very close work. The first crocii in purple and yellow and white, the yellow daffodil, the fragile white jonquil, the violets -- the beauty of any of these taken close up makes a very impressive picture Keep your background simple and uncluttered. Take single flowers, or small clumps, rather than great masses of blossoms. Most important, just be sure to take advantage of springtime's picture taking opportunities. --John Van Guilder GIRL SCOUTS PLAN SEVENTH ANNUAL TEA SUNDAY, MAY 6 Continued from Page 1 Gans, Mrs. Milton Olson and Mrs. Jack Buckie.

(An Editorial). • In 1&>5, more than fifteen thousand individuals didn't return home after the pleasures of the weekend. According to figures recently published by the safety service of one of the leading insurance companies, 15,730 Americans were killed -in weekend traffic accidents. Of last year's traffic fatalities, more than one-fifth occurred on Saturday. The reasons for this record number of weekend highway fatalities lie in the motoring habits of the American public. Every highway in the nation has fts Saturday share of that portion of Arherica bound and determined to arrive at its weekend destination in time for dinner, even if the trip's last sixty miles must be covered in an hour flat. Too frequently, the strain and fatigue of distance driving are ignored in anticipation of ample relaxation at the journey's end. Then, too, our highways continue to be filled with those drivers whose idea of relaxation is an extra drink or two "for the road." " ' Millions of dollars. have been spent by federal, state and municipal authorities in an effort to provide better and safer roads. Additional millions are spent by insurance companies and other private organizations for programs of safety education. Nevertheless, the weekends of 1955 saw more persons killed and injured on ourv highways than ever before. It wasn't the fault of the road systems; it wasn't the fault of safety education campaigns. It was the fault of pleasure-bent individuals striving to go too far,, too fast, for a weekend'^ enjoyment. ; How to reduce this record total of killed and injured? What is desperately squired is the immediate, unceasing cooperation of every American in possession of a driver's permit. ^ An aroused awareness of tra weekend highway peril, plus con-' tinued realization of this danger is the only way to reduce the weekend fatality figures for 1956, ». r. if: .
